Always enjoy his perspective.
Has far has the Brits and us in WW2, Monty was a pompous ass !!!!
China likes to make $$ by manufacturing and now researching and invention they try to. China will not invade or go to war and lose it $$ the market they have in america and europe raw materials come from Australia Africa and Himalayan mountian countries not all from Russia China is backing away from Russia somewhat and will not engage in war
“If Ukraine failed, Russian will be on NATO border again, it's very dangerous ", How funny is this statement, it sound like NATO never want to be border with Russian in the past 39 years.
I think about the youngsters of the world.
Xi Jinping and Putin should think about themselves when they were brought into the world. Babies should be able to go forward with their lives as they have done.
Unfortunately for the people around the world power and wealth is their God.
I don't know saying that China is close to revolution is like the Russians thinking that the USA is close to revolution. Personally I think unless we have a global systems collapse, I don't think any modern state is going to collapse.
George Friedman is a comfort blanket for those yearning for long lost American dominance and glory.
Hard to know where to start on this garbage. You should grow carrots George. You do realise that 80% of the rest of the world see right through your US propaganda tripe.
western analysts are propagandists

I'll have to say The Dangerous Decline of USA as It is trying to maintain the full control of the World risking Nuclear war with Russia and put our planet in danger.
four months later, what he said has been proved to be SO wrong. haha. btw, japan's downturn started when the us and the other white g7 countries bullied japan into revaluate the yen by about 100% in addition to some stupid mistakes japan made, such as useless real estate investments.
Remind me of the titanic musicians,bro you need help every corner of the world is your enemy,the only power American government has is their ignorance
IMHO, the whole talk is missing one core argument: Russia uses its nuclear stockpile to protect their invasion by intimidating the west. But Russia as well as anybody else totally ignores that they have the largest nuclear umbrella for their own protection. Russia simply pretends that it could find itself in a situation again any time where another Napoleon or Hitler is going to invade them. But their nuclear umbrella is an absolute game changer. NOBODY is going to attac or invade Russia and survive his attempt – ever again! On the flip side, Russia has NO excuse to demand a buffer zone for its security as it clearly needed in the pre-nuclear era.
Rather: Decrease in US leadership increases the danger of the world
Sniggers like Bush
Hahaha 😅 funny stand up routine,
I laughed so hard. George Carlin was right. 🤣
This Guy is Lame.
When the West pressurized both China and Russia at the same time, it could possibly turned a non-alliance into an alliance.
United States has proven historically to have made silly political mistakes without recognising it. I studied China history. United States had on one incident made a mistake and pushed the communist party of China and Russia to get together. It is this very mistake that provide a window to Mao to eventually over ruled Jiang and formed China Republic. Thanks to United States.
America can always be trusted. Yeah, right, except for those cases were governments were destroyed by the CIA. Or when allies start doing things in their own interest. Just ask Osama bin Laden or Sadam Hussein on that matter. And do not forget those generals that from one day to another, declared Germany as part of the axis of evil again, for delivering a plant for fertilizer production. I personally trust the US of A as far as I can throw it.
George Friedman said United States could not allow Russia to get close to NATO. So, United States pushed NATO to get closer to Russia. What a marvellous American logic.
Americans are one and only nation previleged to have numerous war training grounds for the last 50 years.
If you believe what these groups of Anglo-Saxon's propaganda, China would bankrupt 20 times. The real story goes to the opposite way. Anglo-Saxon live in dreams sending 6,7 Carries to China coastal areas? They will be destroyed on their halfway by the long range Anti ship missiles…….
"…you should draw better pictures stopping the war!"
Russia and China have one fuel pipeline that due to neglect got self destroyed. So, now there is nothing between those two!🤮🤮🤮So China is careful so it is not left with only ennemies!
what is the problem with his left arm?
China ok
whoever wants to be a aggression country, simply it will failed and doomed to itsef. cause the peace loving nations are united.
The ccp got cocky and opened the curtain. They hate democracy and the USA. Now they threaten nuclear war all the time. Not a good idea with a trading partner.
The Russians really want Chinese ammunition
How does America counter Chinese area denial missiles, huge amounts of them.
“Xi can’t admit he’s hosed.” May be the funniest thing I’ve heard from a serious professional on the topic. 😂
Everything he says is wrong. Just watch the future.
This guy is total idiot. None of what he said is true. And I can bet he has never been to China. Because when u drive 30 miles out of Shanghai, it is still a highly industrialised area. There is no absolute poverty in China. You drive 3000 miles out of Shanghai, you still won't see. So I know he has never been to China and he is all bullshit. What does he mean by China cannot aid Russia due to geography? China can send weapons to Russia. Let's US can beat that or not? US would shit in his pants. It will happen soon. Just watch.

Nuclear power plants in failed states and war zones will melt down and kill the planet.
This guy is totally correct in everything he is saying. China and Russia are in a total financial mess and are ruined.
Taiwan is all about semi conductors and other technologies that china just don't have.
Not sure how everyone say he is good. His narrative is not correct especially about China.
I don’t know Russia, but I’m really sure that since 40 years China has been constantly rising, no matter how much western distorted information, especially from previous China collapse to nowadays China threats.

People cite that quote from Xi that China "reserves the right" to reunify Taiwan by force. So what? That has not changed since 1949! The mainland/Taiwan have very close commercial links. Some 90% of Taiwanese favor the status quo. The Chinese are patient. The CPC and the KMT will eventually work out some kind of Hong Kong type accommodation. China's only real condition is that Taiwan must not allow succession/independence political activity. That's all.
When will approach the end of the world, the man of sin will attempt a supreme effort against God and His Christ. Michael, the champion of the rights of God of Heaven, will rise again, and will defend the servants of Christ, overthrowing the seducer from his throne and kill him. This is the teaching of the of the doctors. They teach us, by the witness of Saint Gregory, that the Archangel Saint Michael will be the celestial envoy who will kill the Anti-Christ. It is written, it’s true, that the Lord Jesus will kill the Anti-Christ by a breath of His mouth; but the commentators understood by these words a command given by the Christ to His Archangel: Saint Michael will act as His minister, as a ray of His glory.
Then will sound the solemn hour, the last hour.
I can barely understand his slurring. Who thought this was up to standard? We need subtitles please.
China's problem is that they choose a career politician over an innovator. This is why China has declined. When your government is an autocracy, it is the fault of the ruler why everything doesn't work. Should had picked Jack Ma, at least he knows how the economy works.
Scratch that, they choose a career politician princeling who has everything given to him without trying. Nepotism.
Maybe Russia should just move their capital from Moscow to the geographic center of their country, closer to Yekaterinburg.
If Putin had invaded while Trump was president things would have been entirely different.
Decline of China? have you been living under a rock for the past 10 years?
